Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I actually agree with Shelley on this, and that's what HTML5 used to
say. However, it is one of the very few topics which got a _huge_ outcry from
Web authors around the Web, demanding that <figure> be allowed to contain
basically any flow content (including sections, headings, paragraphs, lists,
etc). That's why the spec says what it does now.
